got my Turbotech, all in under a week.

put it in, no joke only took me 2 adjustments and its now holding at 10psi perfectly.! boost shoots up like a switch and just freezes on 10!

1st gear is a waste now since the revs shoot up so quick im only in 1st for about 1 second!

Best mod for under $50 EASY

He must be busy as. Never spoke to the guy, never replied to my emails. But paid him and the thing was at my door within a couple of days. Cant complain. smooth

Installed mine today and have been testing for about 2 hours :thumbsup:

I just can't get the boost down on it, it's currently pushing around 12 psi at about 90% throttle.

I've got the bolt in just enough so that I can see the spring only just move through the little hole.

I'm after about 9 psi.

I thought it could be a leak as the tube connections weren't so great so I used some zip ties and they're tight as now.

Heres some pics, does everything look okay? It's a 34.

One of the lines going into the solenoid goes to what I think is the BoV line, the other is blocked off with a screw.

The connection on the bottom of the controller goes to the nipple coming out of pipe that leads from the turbo to the intercooler.

The connection on the side of the controller goes to the wastegate actuator.

As far as I can tell it's all setup correctly, it just doesn't let the wastegate see enough pressure.

In the line coming from the turbo there is a brass fitting inside the tube, starting to wonder if this could be dropping pressure.

zappn where does the hose on the top nipple of the boost solenoid go? looks like that could be it to me cant really see but maybe its set up wrong. the hose from the opposite end of the controller to the screw should go straight to the intake after the turbo somewhere..like a cooler pipe or something, the side hose goes to the wastegate. follow the lines and make sure thats whats happenin my rb25 holds at 7psi atm as clutch is cooked, so 12 is a bit much. maybe neo is different the setup looks similar though

Oh dear ... I just lost the spring into my engine bay!! The ball bearing didnt get to far, but I searched everywhere for the spring and I cannot find it :) Any way of getting a replacement spring or am i just going to have to fork out again for another unit?

Wow, im a dumbass :ermm:

^^^ Just try to get a generic spring.

Length: it should be enough to hold the ball in place without too much preload while knob is out most of the way.

Stiffness: Nothing too stiff if you are running standard boost or a little above.

That is my opinion anyway. I am not liable for anything that may go wrong as a result of this.

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      Short shifter r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
